Don't forget the blitzkrieg of bombs from 40m out that are too deep for the chasers and go uncontested game after game after game after game after game after game ..... you get the picture. But every now and then ..... elite.

I usually agree with most of your criticisms of DCE but those bombs are called cage kicks and they’re not always designed to be contested. The game has changed and a bomb is not always an attacking strategy, rather, a territorial tactic. The bombs are designed to land as close to try line as possible and the defenders are hoping to make contact with the catcher simultaneously; effectively nullifying any momentum to begin the ensuing set. Occasionally, the chase will be good enough to contest and sometimes do, but to land a more shallow bomb will often see a handling error from the contest, with the opposition often gaining possession in more advantageous positions.
